Pros

Pay and benefits. There's also a good history of innovation and a reputation for excellence that -- if the company can regain it -- will serve employees well.

Cons

Current shaky financial status, including perception on the Street, despite an environment that's very favorable to oil companies. Another downside for American employees is the growing emphasis on London leadership at the expense of a strong U.S. management presence. At the same time this is happening, the company is shutting down (for financial reasons) opportunities for U.S. leaders to take expat assignments in London.

Pros

Benefits are better than most companies - great matching, HSA, pensions, and bonuses. The culture was great too, middle management was a pleasure to work with.

Cons

It’s easy to get stuck in one position if you’re a high performer. Seemed like if you’re good at your job you get stuck there while others get a lot more mobility. The options I had to move were all within the same sphere, great if you like what you are currently doing but not so much otherwise. Also, expect a re-org every 2-3yrs, change can be good but it was often disruptive during my tenure.
